The Kingdom of Israel, also called the Kingdom of Samaria or the Northern Kingdom, was an Israelite kingdom that existed in the Southern Levant during the Iron Age. Its beginnings date back to the first half of the 10th century BCE. It controlled the areas of Samaria, Galilee and parts of Transjordan; the former two regions underwent a period in which a large number of new settlements were established shortly after the kingdom came into existence. It had four capital cities in succession: Shiloh, Shechem, Tirzah, and the city of Samaria. In the 9th century BCE, the House of Omri ruled it, whose political centre was the city of Samaria.

Quotes about

Then the Lord said to him:

“Name the boy Jezreel,

for in a short time

I will punish the house of Jehu

for the blood shed at Jezreel,

and I will bring an end to the kingdom

of the house of Israel.

and Israel is not hidden from me.

and Israel is defiled.

Their deeds do not allow them

to return to their God.

For the spirit of immorality has possessed them,

and they no longer know the Lord.

Israel’s arrogance testifies against them;

Ephraim stumbles in their guilt,

and Judah stumbles with them.

Hosea 5:3-5 NKJV.

nor do I wish to forgive them.
